1. An apparatus comprising logic and circuitry configured to cause a wireless communication device to:
determine one or more transmit (Tx) configuration parameters for a wireless communication station (STA) based on a frame-related value corresponding to a frame to be communicated in an Uplink (UL) transmission from the STA as part of a Trigger-Based (TB) Multi-User (MU) UL transmission to be communicated from a plurality of STAs to the wireless communication device, wherein the frame-related value is based on at least one of a frame type of the frame or a length of the frame, wherein the apparatus is configured to cause the wireless communication device to, based on a determination that the frame comprises a control frame or a data frame, use a first frame-related value or a second frame-related value, respectively, to select the one or more Tx configuration parameters for the STA, wherein the second frame-related value is different from the first frame-related value; and
transmit a trigger frame to trigger the TB MU UL transmission, the trigger frame comprising the one or more Tx configuration parameters to configure the UL transmission from the STA.
